Hotel booked for Aug 22
Well, Karly and I have a hotel booked for August 22nd in Moorhead, Minnesota. We're leaving Tuesday morning August 22 and leaving Friday evening August 25. We got the best deal at a Travelodge that we stayed at before. It was the cheapest of the hotels we were considering at $58.50 US a night. With taxes, we're paying about $192. This hotel includes a swimming pool, hot tub, and free continental breakfasts with waffles. There is also a little games room with a few arcade machines. Last time I was there, there was Hang-On, Wayne Gretzky 3-D Hockey (ugh!), Marvel vs. Capcom, and Operation Thunderbolt. But this was like 3 years ago and hopefully a couple or all these games have been replaced with something else.
We'll be shopping around the Fargo and Moorhead area since both these areas are only 2 or 3 miles apart. This means shopping at:
-2 Target Stores
-1 Wal-Mart and 1 Wal-Mart Supercenter (both open 24 hours)
-2 K-Marts (or as they call it there, the Big K)
-The numerous stores in West Acres Mall
Oh, and let's not forget the stores in Grand Forks. We'll be stopping there for a bit on the way to Moorhead and back on Friday when we're heading home.
The stores to take into consideration in Grand Forks:
-Big Lots
-The Big K
-Super Target
-Wal-Mart (open 24 hours)
-Super-One Foods
-The numerous stores in Columbia Mall
Two things I recently heard about Fargo is that there is no Pirate's Den arcade at West Acres Mall. It's replaced with some kids' dinosaur play area. This arcade used to have the oh-so-redundant DDR Extreme machine and the first In The Groove machine. Now it's gone. Oh well, there's still the Circus arcade at Columbia Mall with the 5th mix machine. Also there is no Big Lots store in Fargo anymore. But there's still the one in Grand Forks.
Food will be no problem. Can't wait to go back to Hardee's. They sell some big-ass burgers! The McDonald's Dollar Menu will get raided by Karly and I (mostly me because of my large appetite). We'll be going to several restaurants that aren't available in Winnipeg like TGIFriday's, Ruby Tuesdays, and Chili's.
Everything should be okay. I'm getting a little more US currency next week, car is in good shape, and I'm burning some CD compilations for the road trip. If Karly has a problem with the compilations, she can use my new cell phone which is also an mp3 player. She can download the music she wants to listen to. On a side note, even though I have a new cell phone, I still have the same cell phone number if you have it. If we ever have a little get together some time, I'll bring some goodies as usual. I never leave you guys out. Keebler cookies will be brought back probably, and remember Al, it's "Elves" not "Elvis." Just kidding! A little inside joke from the Keebler cookies I brought back last time I was there. Anyway, I should be getting to sleep. Work tomorrow, well actually in 7 1/2 hours. Take care everyone!
